Many leaves torn, several lacking, text toned, some staining, vast majority of the text extant. Some leaves with loss to edges, particularly those at the opening of the text. Large map extant. Overall poor but original condition. No collation provided, but assume at least a few leaves lacking, many are torn with loss, but nonetheless most of the text remains legible as per the images.
